So... If you saw movement FROM Case, do you think they will be giving offers out TO case? Didn't see anything in the school-specific thread.

You can remain on a waitlist until orientation or beginning a pre-matriculation program.
What do you mean by unless they already had two offers out?
They might have lost another person or are expecting to be declined by one? I assume that anyway.
We make offers based on actual as well as inevitable withdrawals.
Really? Crap, gotta start withdrawing. I've been lazy... Thought they'd just reject me sooner or later.

What would be considered "pre-matriculation"? For example, would putting down a deposit or filling out vaccination forms be considered "pre-matriculation"?
No. A program with classes or preparation for school of any kind would be considered a pre-matriculation program.
How about a financial aid presentation, health insurance and a white coat information session in June?
Was this part of orientation?
It's called "pre-orientation" in June. Subjects to be covered are financial aid, curriculum, student stressors and student health, plus fingerprinting. Orientation right before classes is in august.
Each school declares a date when orientation begins. If this date includes the activities you have described no school will lift you from their waitlist without breaking a traffic rule. AMCAS distributes this list of dates to all of us. Without knowing the school I cannot tell you if this is part of orientation or not.
Now I am starting to be convinced this is a conspiracy, I just learned one of the schools may not have updated my file to state that I confirmed my spot on the waitlist, even though I did via email (which is how they wanted it confirmed)... twice and gave update letters and called in to ask about movement. It had been verified that they changed the file. If my file was reset somehow I am just going to redefine annoyed and ticked off.

It's SIU
I'll check tomorrow.
Thank you @gyngyn for all your help and speedy responses! Would you mind checking for Case, too? I'm just concerned because classes start so early
Will do.
Can you imagine what the cost of the flight and the moving expenses would be to and from Israel though?
That being said if anyone wants to give up their spot at Ben Gurion and tell them to offer it to me (I was rejected without interview) I would be happy to take it. My rabbi wants me to go to Sackler though.

Congrats! Where at?
Mazel tov!
Wayne State!
Congrats! And I just got your avatar lol
Acceptance (or matriculation) at a non-LCME accredited school will not be apparent to an LCME school where you are on the waitlist.
SIU orientation starts 8/14/14. You can be accepted from another school until then.
Case starts 7/9/14.

Thank you so much for your reply. Your time and generosity is so helpful guiding everyone through this anxious admission chaos.
Anyone know whats going on with UCLA? haven't heard anything in forever
I feel ya. :-/
On 3 waitlists and idk if it'll happen at any of them. Also won't be reapplying until next year so I can actually make my application better.
UCLA has been moving for some time.
Sorry, no intel on Drexel...
gosh, I hope I don't end up in this thread. I got a 31 MCAT, so hopefully that spares me from the pain of the waitlist
Thanks anyway! Do you know if GW has been moving lately?
Same here - Recent UF grad - 7 interviews early in cycle and 6 LONGTIME wait lists (5 in Florida) 1 OOS. Oops make that 5 FL wait lists -- rejected by FSU a few weeks back. Rejected by USF SELECT after interview -- questioned higher price. 32 MCAT. 3.7 GPA and Good/Great LOR, plenty of shadowing and volunteering. No research. Part time work as a coach every spring (track). Experience abroad in Spain and Peru. Spanish major. Life… Sad & Mad
31 aint keeping anyone off the waitlist, sorry. MCAT scores are high across the board and only getting higher.
That said, I've seen some of the highest highs of the entire application process on here. I'm sure if you have a good application you'll be fine regardless.
I graduated from UCF so I know how you feel in regards to the Florida schools. I was rejected by FSU the Friday before orientation lol. I know of other Florida residents who did not have any Florida interviews so you're not alone.
Yeah I got a 35 and I'm here. IIRC, I think according to MSAR the new accepted median is 33.
Sorry to keep pestering you about these school updates but have you seen movement from UCLA over the course of several days and it's still moving or was it one big wave of movement? Thanks so much for doing this for all of us!

Info on Case is on Page 16
You know, this thread was created to SUPPORT those people who are on waitlists, not for people to come here and post about how much they don't want to end up on this thread next year! I've been lurking this thread for a long time since I'm also on three waitlists and everyone is so sympathetic towards others that are still on waitlists and congratulatory towards those who get accepted and it's helped make me feel better about this whole process. It's not very supportive to post on here how much you don't want to be in our situation next year, is it?
I notice all your other posts say things like "I heard this is an easy school to get into." THERE IS NO EASY MEDICAL SCHOOL TO GET INTO. Especially not when you're banking on a 31 MCAT and 30 hours of hospital volunteering. I have a 35-37 MCAT/3.6-3.8cGPA/3.8-4.0sGPA with over 200 hours of medical volunteering. And I haven't gotten in to a medical school yet this year. I've seen similar stats on a lot of people in this thread! I realize that you just joined SDN yesterday so you don't know what it's all about, but please try to keep these type of insensitive comments to yourself.
